The recording of my #IATEFL2025 plenary is now online. If you missed it, you can watch it now. If you have attended my plenary last Wednesday, this is an opportunity for spaced practice. 😄 Either way: Enjoy! #edusky #academicsky www.youtube.com/watch?v=tNGh...

One thing that I think becomes very clear from analyses of actual AI use for educational purposes is that subject matter, pedagogical, & PCK* expertise are indispensable; if we don't have a clear, concise, detailed idea of what we want to achieve, we'll likely achieve something else.

Everybody talks about innovating assessment in #higherEd in the era of GenAI, It's been (positive) messy so far, but how should we proceed? Once again, cognitive science principles can support our thinking: sites.google.com/view/efratfu...

Two reasons NOT to change your course assessment and learning outcomes: 1 GenAI can do it with little human effort 2 Your Ss will use GenAI to do it, in the future. If you believe it is an essential fundamental skill, then it probably is, and your students need to master it before offloading to AI💭

New paper w/ the brilliant @OdedWertheimer suggests a new computational framework for ASD variation, framing it as a computational trade-off between precise signal encoding and fast adaptation to changes. This trade-off is driven by neuronal dynamic range. Read more: www.nature.com/articles/s41...
